Venom 2 never dealt with the pressure of high expectations after its first installment. But even with this advantage, the film directed by Andy Serkis manages to make us believe that the second parts were never good. Unfortunately for him, it is not the only deception that the viewer finds: where did the much-hyped massacre end up?
Initially, the tape was sold with an R rating to the delight of all fans. It was a logical decision because it was the debut of Carnage on the big screen. Unfortunately, the film did not serve as the setting for the bloodthirsty villain so characteristic carnage and we lost the unique opportunity to see a brutal confrontation between the two aliens.

Instead, the story boils down to coexistence, relationship, and even diet problems. Venom cannot live without human brains. He’s sick of settling for chicken brains and chocolate. For his part, Eddie Brock continues on the same path as the loser capable of spreading laziness to the viewer who came looking for excitement and action.
From start to finish, one action succeeds another for no greater purpose than empty entertainment. Once the show is over, you end up the same with the exception of having wasted 97 minutes of your life on an anecdotal story, almost unconnected characters and cheap jokes. Superhero cinema cannot afford to have products so bland that they lower the standards of the medium even further.

But the box office is king and the film’s successful box office promises a third and even more deliveries. At least until Tom Hardy gets bored with his character, gets bored and decides to return to productions where his talent is harnessed and even the villains are executed.
